- Thank You
Thank you for sticking up for the fans with this Big Noon fiasco. This is the only program that isn’t self serving enough to push noon games down our throat because they want to be done working early on a Saturday.

United Statesa year ago - Boring and tedious
Fallen from grace. It’s now the “listen to one person ramble and occasionally phone his buddies” show. Let your cohosts speak sometimes. Enough about your kids.
Apple Podcasts2PineconnUnited Statesa year ago - This show is just pure state-run media
The host has a far greater need to be buddies with coaches, administrators, and ex players than he does to give anyone fair and honest analysis.
The guys at 3pm are idiots, but at least they’re honest…this is nothing more than a gigantic “drinking of bath water through a straw” session
Apple Podcasts1MA#123United States2 years ago - Chops
Beau is the best, and Rieser is also very good! BUT, like most listeners, I gotta say Chops is beyond horrible, he’s very ill-informed about things, has horrible takes, and obviously grates on Beau’s nerves. He also talks way too much, and he acts like he’s some sophisticated movie reviewer any time they discuss movies or TV shows. If the show was just Beau and Rieser, it would be awesome.
Apple Podcasts4Longtime listener of The FanUnited States2 years ago - New cohost
Chops is an awful cohost. He’s even worse when Beau goes on vacation. Fire Mark and hire a real 2nd wheel.
